  • Ink and Substrate Compatibility for Electrochemical Sensing in Paper-based Devices

    Creator:
    Reid, Caitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Electrochemical sensing provides a quantitative alternative to colorimetric reactions within paper-based devices. The paper-based devices were fabricated by screen printing the conductive and reference inks onto porous substrates that were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. Devices were evaluated based on the magnitude of the average anodic peak height, which correlates with...

  • Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

    Creator:
    McKinney, Madison J.
    Abstract:
    Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

  • The Bioethics of Implantable Engineered Mechanisms in Orthopedic Surgery

    Creator:
    Chatterjee, Sarani
    Abstract:
    The ethics of implant technology is a wide-ranging topic in the field of bioethics. This paper intends to add to the ethical discourse of implant technology by addressing a new class of implants applicable to orthopedic surgery. These new implants are engineered mechanisms that attach muscles to tendons and bones...

  • Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

    Creator:
    Lu, Lin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

  • Development of Rapid Diagnostic Tools for Personal Health Monitors in the Context of Therapy Monitoring

    Creator:
    Wentland, Lael T.
    Abstract:
    Personal health monitoring tools, a subset of point-of care-diagnostics, enable more frequent testing of chronic health conditions outside of a clinic setting and can inform personalized therapy or support telehealth diagnostic capabilities. While there is evidence that regular monitoring of chronic conditions can lead to better health outcomes and lower...

  • Bioactive and Biocompatible Coatings for Endotoxin Capture in Treatment of Sepsis

    Creator:
    Su, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Sepsis is a blood infection caused by circulating pathogens and cell wall fragments that affects over 1 million patients per year in the United States. When bacterial cell membranes are lysed by antibiotics, cell wall fragments containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are released. As a result, the capture of LPS is critical...

  • Scale Up & Optimization of the Liquid Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Orange Oil with Dry Ice

    Creator:
    Fraser-Hevlin, Brenden C. S.
    Abstract:
    Essential oils have numerous chemical and therapeutic applications. Some oil extraction methods, including steam distillation, require a large energy input. An alternative technique with a lower energy demand is the extraction of oils using supercritical liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which extracts essential oils with minimal environmental impact. While this often...

  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

  • Toward an Optimal Working Distance for Hyperspectral Imaging of Wood

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Michelle T.
    Abstract:
    The forest products industry relies on the production of high-quality wood to satisfy consumer requirements. Improving wood quality requires an effective and inexpensive technique for measuring critical properties such as density and microfibril angle. An emerging technology known as near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR HSI) essentially captures surface images of samples...
